Spirited ninth-inning rally not enough for Dodgers in NLCS Game 2 loss to Braves

Photos from Game 2 of the National League Championship Series between the Dodgers and Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.It was Gonsolin’s first career playoff start and his first appearance of the 2020 postseason. He had last pitched in a game against the Angels on Sept. 26 when he gave up four runs over six innings. It was his worst outing of his breakout season, but he still finished with a 2.31 ERA in 46 2/3 innings across nine outings.

His first pitch, a 95-mph fastball, ran up and in on Ronald Acuña Jr, the Braves’ star outfielder. Acuña managed to avoid getting plunked, but the ball ricocheted off his bat for a foul, hurting his thumb in the process. He stayed in the game after a visit from a trainer. Then he struck out on three pitches and Gonsolin was off.

Gonsolin didn’t get back on track. He surrendered an RBI double to Cristian Pache, a 21-year-old rookie, and walked Acuña again to end his outing. He threw 28 pitches to the first nine batters he faced and 60 to the final 10.
